I got all the way to the checkout page, and then saw that with shipping AND tax, the jacket was gonna be nearly $130.
Sanity stepped in and stopped me.
Then I started to think I should just go for it. I mean, what is $18 in the long run, anyway?
Girded my loins, kissed my credit card pay-down plan bye-bye, and went back for the Pingo.
But Ibex's website had crashed.
Someone is watching out for me....
Edit: Ooh, but now the website is up again! Maybe I should just go to bed, and think about it.

For what it's worth, I have that brown Pingo and love it.

I went comparison-shopping for other softshells, thinking that if I found a cheaper one I'd consider that instead. (I really do think a softshell will solve my sweat problem)
Didn't find any for much cheaper.
I think the Ibex is singing its siren-song for me....
Don't forget TrickyTiger said it runs a bit small, she was wearing a Medium but usually wears a Small. I'm looking at XL, so it will fit over my other L Ibex stuff.
My resistance is breaking down. I'm talking myself into it.
(maybe I'll go to the LBS first, and see if I can be tempted by anything else. I do want to get a new pump.)
Edit: Trek420 talked me out of it. But I still want it. But I don't need it. Sigh, wool-lust is a terrible thing...Last edited by KnottedYet; 03-30-2008 at 09:42 AM.

I go to TE shopping to look at a PI Whisper jacket or the Sugoi that is similar, and look what temptation comes my way! There is no escape!"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

I love the fish t, but I could never spend $75 on a t-shirt, even in Merino. Mebbe if it goes on sale for half price! Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Not unless you enabling wooly gals remind me!
